Birding Basics
March 17, 2018, 10:00am–12:00pm
Just in time for spring migration!
Birding is one of this country’s fastest growing hobbies, and there is no place better to enjoy it in Brooklyn than at Green-Wood! This two-part course will teach the beginner birder the why, where, how, and what of birding. With over 250 species of birds residing in, or passing through, the Big Apple every year, learn where to look for, and how to identify, many of the species in this diverse group of animals. Our second session will end with a walk through the Cemetery, applying some of the lessons learned in the classroom.
Green-Wood’s official birding checklist is available to pick up from the security guard at the main entrance on 25th Street or to print here. Comfortable footwear is recommended.
$35 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $40 for non-members. One ticket secures a spot for both sessions, Saturday March 17th and Sunday March 18th from 10am to 12pm.
